A better, stronger team, would easily be looking at a double-digit year with the schedule Jacksonville has been dealt; unfortunately for the Jags', they aren't that kind of team. It's not to say there isn't talent or depth here - fact is, there is - it's just that most of it is sitting in one area, along the defensive front-seven; a group projected to finish 2nd in pass-rushing. Should the Jags' offense be able to match the production of it's defense, this could be a much different story; as it sits though, with a trio of runningbacks that all too easily could disappoint, and a passing attack that isn't too dissimilar from last year's (ranked 20th with 233 PYPG), that likeliness is none at best....  For more information, go to www.thepresnapread.com or www.betlessmakemore.com and tune in weekly for updated NFL & NCAA Football news, stats, picks, and opinions as provided by sports handicapper Michael James.

With one of the easiest schedules on deck this year; the 49'ers have reason for some renewed hope, as some of their strongest groups (defensive pass-rushing, offensive line) will find themselves facing some of the weakest competition in the league.

With every season, there are at least a couple high-profile teams - expected to be contenders - that fall hard and short of expectations; dealt a Top 5 most difficult schedule for 2017, the Giants figure to be one of those teams. With match-ups against competitive squads like Oakland, Tampa', Seattle, and Arizona; there are quite a few games - including those in their own division - that could be decided by a TD or less... but, when "push comes to shove", in nearly every case, it's the opponent that comes into the game with the slightly deeper, stronger team, edging them out for the win...
